Chapter 690: Chapter 381: Massive Gray Mist Acquired! (2)
The world he occupied was ultimately a multiracial one. Even though he had conquered it and established a multiracial force, he had yet to manage the entire world according to his own ideas.
One could say, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu had been coveting the High Tower for a long time.
Subsequently, after careful consideration, the other Shen Yu’s also expressed their agreement one by one.
Not all of these Shen Yu’s needed the power of such a High Tower.
However, this matter was not just about strengthening the Celestial Dao Tree; more importantly, it offered the opportunity to acquire a substantial amount of Gray Mist.
Once there’s enough Gray Mist, many currently troublesome issues will have solutions.
It might even directly tip the scales of victory sharply towards the Association!
Thus, after completely occupying the Resource World, when the Great Wind Empire began focusing on the Tower World, they were shocked to find that the forces within the Tower World were continuously dismantling the Tower itself.
Or rather, devouring.
The other party even made no attempt to conceal this.
In any small world within the Tower World, everyone could clearly see that the High Tower was continuously sprouting branches.
At first, it was only some leaves growing.
Gradually, the entire High Tower seemed to be rapidly becoming a large tree!
Even the adventurers of the High Tower began to notice that the mark of the tower within their souls was transforming into the shape of a tree.
That was the mark of the Celestial Dao Tree.
This was an absolute devouring and replacement.
If it were only this, it would merely change the Great Wind Emperor’s plundering target from the High Tower to the Celestial Dao Tree of this world.
However, the Celestial Dao Tree can be taken away!
This is not a technology unique to any world but a universal technology belonging to the entire Association.
The Celestial Dao Trees of all worlds have at most material differences, but not technical ones.
This also means the Association can move it to any world managed by the Association at any time.
By then, the Tower World would face significant issues due to the lack of law, possibly leading to the destruction of the entire world.
But it doesn’t matter.
Everything of value, especially people, will be taken away completely.
What remains will just be ruins.
In essence, the Gray Mist Space seeks Gray Mist through "people" and not "places."
Under such circumstances, the All Heavens End-of-the-World Civilization Mutual Aid Association is naturally the same.
In summary, this is an unacceptable reality for the Great Wind Empire.
Especially when they discovered that the Association is further extracting the souls stored within the High Tower.
"Can we stop them?"
The Great Wind Emperor asked this question from his supreme throne.
The answer is, very difficult.
"Even if we launch a full-scale attack now, we won’t be able to prevent the High Tower from being destroyed."
A Marquis, extraordinarily powerful at his rank and considered closest to the Great Holy Emperor in strength within the whole Empire, volunteered.
"Your Majesty, I can attempt the venture."
Attempt what?
Attempt to prevent it.
But the Emperor vetoed it.
With the Emperor’s perspective, he could naturally see that this matter wasn’t that simple.
Even if he personally intervened and won the war, he couldn’t stop the other party from destroying the High Tower.
The technology displayed by the Association surpassed his expectations.
Did forces behind the scenes come into play?
The Great Wind Emperor felt a sense of crisis. At this moment, he was even hesitating.
But soon, he solidified his goal.
"We wait. When they relocate to the New World, that will be our opportunity."
Indeed, once the Celestial Dao Tree of the High Tower is fully devoured and moved to the New World, it will undoubtedly be difficult to integrate quickly.
At that time, the control over the Celestial Dao Tree will be at its lowest.
That will truly be the best opportunity for the Great Wind Empire.
However, this opportunity is intentionally provided by the Association.
In the instant the Emperor made this decision, an endless stream of Gray Mist began to surge wildly within the Gray Mist Space.
Indeed, it was incredibly crazy.
Far beyond any previous moment.
After all, this signifies the rescue of all adventurers of the High Tower World whose power had reached beyond the Realm of Eternal Life!
Among them are those whose strength reached the Twelfth Realm.
How much Gray Mist can this provide?
"We’ve struck it rich."
Within the Association, all Shen Yu’s were beaming with joy.
Thus, the greatest value of the Tower World was already in their possession!
These powerful individuals had in fact escaped their destined demise.
"With so much Gray Mist, our odds against the Great Wind Empire might soar to an extremely high level," Martial Artist Shen Yu couldn’t help but exclaim, "I wonder if it has reached eighty percent."
This figure cannot be estimated.
After all, the impact brought by Gray Mist cannot be gauged using Gray Mist itself.
Unless a specific plan has been formulated to turn boundless possibilities into a tangible, executable plan.
However, no matter how wealthy the Association suddenly becomes, when looking at the Great Wind Empire’s crisis, it seemed to suddenly become clear.
"We still need to conserve some Gray Mist." Shen Yu reminded the others, then said, "Let’s convene a meeting. With this Gray Mist to back us, we can act more boldly. I think perhaps it’s time for a counterattack."
Upon hearing this, all Shen Yu’s were invigorated.
Counterattack!
Since realizing the Tower World’s crisis stemmed from the third force of All Heavens, the Association pondered for a long time on how to withstand the Great Wind Empire’s advance.
Even previously occupying the Resource World exploited the opportunity while the opposing Emperor was in seclusion, a temporary victory.
And even after the Great Wind Emperor emerged from seclusion, it was handed back.
No matter the strategic reasoning or abundant cause, this was a defeat in warfare.
A never-before-seen defeat.
In the past, every step forward by the Association was as steady as a mountain.
When had there been such an experience of losing strategic benefits already in hand?
Though many Shen Yu’s remain silent, it doesn’t mean that dissatisfaction does not exist in their hearts.
But no matter what, the war proceeded to this point.
Now is truly the counterattack!
"I think, with Gray Mist in hand, there’s no need to relocate the High Tower anymore." Intersellar world Shen Yu suddenly suggested an action, "Thinking it over carefully, there really isn’t a better battlefield than the Tower World. Everything valuable in this world has been moved away by us, and the remnants have little value. If they get destroyed in the war, it’s not regrettable. Plus, the law of the High Tower and this world is the most integrated. After fully mastering this world by devouring the High Tower, it is actually our home ground."
The suggestion by interstellar world Shen Yu indeed brought a spark to the eyes of some Shen Yu’s.
However, many Shen Yu’s had already entertained this idea.
After all, thinking about it carefully, the Tower World, with Gray Mist in hand, is truly the most suitable battlefield.
As for before?
If the intent to relocate wasn’t firm, Gray Mist might not be settled.
"Not relocating the High Tower, these pure souls can be taken away," Wizard Shen Yu smiled slightly, "Secretly, batch by batch, leaving the opponent only able to focus on the High Tower’s law."
Exactly, pure souls are different from the High Tower.
The High Tower, or rather the Celestial Dao Tree fused with the High Tower, has a large part deeply integrated with the Tower World. When severed and taken away, it is bound to cause a tremendous commotion.
But these souls are entirely different.
